5 Informative Books for the Nuclear Cardiology Boards

Are you ready for the Nuclear Cardiology boards? It’ll be here before you know it so it’s time to get cracking on studying.

There are many resources available to complement your review; we’ve narrowed down the top 5 books to help you pass the Nuclear Cardiology board certification exam.

According to those who’ve recently taken the Nuclear Cardiology Board exam, Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications by Gary Heller, Robert Hendel, is hands down, the most “readable” resource to help you prepare for your test. This book is not a comprehensive guide to studying your exam. It has a heavy focus on radiation, but its readability makes it a great resource to supplement others for studying. Cost: ~$80.

2. The counterpart to the Practical Application book would be Nuclear Cardiology: Technical Applications by Gary Heller, April Mann, Robert Hendel. This book has been said to be one of the key ways to learn the technical aspects of performing accurate nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT studies. Again, as this book focuses primarily on Practical Application, so won’t be a comprehensive review of all aspects that will be included on the exam. This book runs ~$100 on Amazon.

Pro Tip: Buy one copy of this book, and split up the chapters with you and your classmates. Each of you can then make “Cliff notes” of the chapters you review so you don’t have to spend too much time reading through the book cover to cover.
